In the tradition of Out of My Mind, Wonder, and Mockingbird, this is an intensely moving middle grade novel about being an outsider, coping with loss, and discovering the true meaning of family. Willow Chance is a twelve-year-old genius, obsessed with nature and diagnosing medical conditions, who finds it comforting to count by 7s. It has never been easy for her to connect with anyone other than her adoptive parents, but that hasn't kept her from leading a quietly happy life . . . until now. Suddenly Willow's world is tragically changed when her parents both die in a car crash, leaving her alone in a baffling world. The triumph of this book is that it is not a tragedy. This extraordinarily odd, but extraordinarily endearing, girl manages to push through her grief. Her journey to find a fascinatingly diverse and fully believable surrogate family is a joy and a revelation to read. "Holly Goldberg Sloan writes about belonging in a way I've never quite seen in any other book. This is a gorgeous, funny, and heartwarming novel that I'll never forget."--John Corey Whaley, author of Where Things Come Back "Willow Chance subtly drew me into her head and her life, so much so that I was holding my breath for her by the end. Holly Goldberg Sloan has created distinct characters who will stay with you long after you finish the book."--Sharon Creech, Newbery Award-winning author of Walk Two Moons "In achingly beautiful prose, Holly Goldberg Sloan has written a delightful tale of transformation that's a celebration of life in all its wondrous, hilarious and confounding glory. Counting by 7s is a triumph."--Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, BernadetteBinding Type: Hardcover

Comfortable Everyday Shorts with a Clean Casual Look
Size: Large, Color: Dark Grey
These shorts strike a good balance between casual comfort and a more put-together appearance.
The twill fabric feels durable enough for regular wear while still being lightweight. The drawstring adds flexibility in fit, which makes them easy to wear in different settings—from casual outings to light activity.
The 7-inch inseam gives a modern, slightly athletic look without being too short.
Pros
• Comfortable fit
• Versatile casual style
• Lightweight but durable fabric
Cons
• Not performance-focused
• Limited stretch compared to athletic shorts
Overall
A solid everyday short that works across multiple casual settings.

Good Basic Pair of Basic Shorts
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
These are a good basic pair of shorts. They fit well with a comfortable drawstring waist and a nice length that’s not too short or long. The material feels a bit thin, which is actually a positive for summer since they’re lightweight and breathable. The color came out a little more gold than true khaki in person, but it still looks decent. Overall, they’re solid for casual wear, beach days, or just around the house. We’ll see how they hold up after washing, but so far I’m happy with them for the price and will be wearing them regularly.
